Very low temperatures, a lot of snow and ice on the road and on vehicles and strong, freezing wind – these are just some of the things to look forward to in winter and beware while driving long-distance.

When it comes to the type of tires to mount on the vehicle for winter conditions, people are still up in arms about it – winter or all-season tires? Each have their own pros and cons, but all-season tires are cheaper and easier to maintain.

To be able to enjoy driving your car during the winter, you need to make sure it runs as it should. It stopping in the middle of a snowflurry and freezing cold weather is not an option, so make sure your automotive pet is in good condition.

With new materials, manufacturing processes and technologies surfacing every few years, cars are becoming increasingly more durable – you just need the will and patience to dedicate to them. That is precisely one of the reasons why some people are still driving cars they bought 20 years ago, and are not intending to stop any time soon.
